Actually watched all the game. Keeper cause he's 1st choice James 2 centre backs Rice Bellingham Kane take from the game. Rodgers showed something. Elsewhere when they do meet the better sides requires better especially out wide.

Where were the flair players?
The fact he reluctantly added Gibbs-White to the squad and never gave him a minute on the pitch, yet he puts on Henderson (who instinct is to pass back or sideways), Walker and leaves on Rashford for so long (14 crosses and only 2 found a man) then puts on Foden (good player but not in form at all this season)
Gibbs-White is the heart of a good Forest side, he scores he creates goals, he is the captain. he has won trophies with England. I wasn't impressed at all
Give him time he will sort it out. He has to see everyone at his disposal so you would assume they will all get a run at some point.Quote:

Your point on Gibbs - White is a good one but not all club players make international ones, Foden being a prime example. Never plays well for England as his free role at City isn't allowed in the England team game.

My biggest concern is that we haven?t got a lock smith nobody to unlock packed defences, played two poor sides & couldn?t work it out, better sides will have seen this.To be honest I?ve not seen much difference from Southgate.

He is an international player that has performed at the highest level for his age, world cup winner u17 and uefa under 21 winner, he might have been captain then.Quote:
